With new pads mated with new rotors the two items have the necessary degree of pad/rotor material and flatness and the rotor surfaces are parallel and braking will be optimum. Brake life will be optimum. And the chance of a customer having to bring back the car due to some brake issue is greatly reduced. Almost nil really. |

I can't recall the rotor details of my first cars but with my 2002 Boxster the rotors had 2mm of wear. 1mm per surface. When the pads were worn out the rotors were also worn out. This lack of excessive rotor thickness has been the norm for those cars I have owned since then. Lighter rotors require less energy to spin up as the car accelerates, and less braking force to slow. And lighter rotors mean less unsprung weight. The only thing that could be better would be the BMW M Carbon Ceramic brakes. |

That a significant reason to go with Girodisc, plus they are stronger and cheaper than OEM M rotors. Also, all future changes are even cheaper as all you need to do is replace the ring. |
